Benefits of technology

The technical effect described in this patented technology allows users to determine whether new tests should undergo regression testing based solely upon their own knowledge about how well they were doing beforehand without having any previous experiences with them. This helps prevent errors from happening during subsequent experiments while ensuring accurate results may still have been achieved through changes made afterward.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technology describes two main issues with current methods for validating regression testing's effectiveness during software production processes. Firstly, it can only determine whether modifications are introduced without introducing any mistakes or causing incorrect results. Secondly, this method requires manual adjustment based upon trial-and-error rather than objective assessments like those provided through experimentation alone.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for determining a test case in need of regression testing and relates to the technical field of software testing. The present invention can increase the efficiency and accuracy of determining a test case in need of regression testing. The method comprises: acquiring a software code of a to-be-tested version and a software code of a baseline version; comparing the software code of the to-be-tested version and the software code of the baseline version to acquire a list of functions that are changed in the software code of the to-be-tested version relative to the software code of the baseline version, wherein the functions are defined according to a preset rule, and the functions are different from each other in the software code of the to-be-tested version or the software code of the baseline version; and according to the list of functions that are changed, searching for a pre-established correspondence between functions and test cases to obtain a test case in need of regression testing.
